A dragon themed Priest tends to play a lot different than its control counterpart. While Control Priest focuses more on having board removal, Dragon Priest plays a more minion based tempo game.

Strategy

Early game is crucial in this deck, and requires a bit of thought. Seeing how your minions synergize with each other, you might have to play off curve. Holding your 1-mana Twilight Whelp in order to get full value from your turn 2 Wyrmrest Agent and Blackwing Technician can be more beneficial than throwing out your 1-drop.

When facing Control, you will have to be the aggressor, and use your dragons to flood the board and pressure your opponent down or get an Ysera to stick. Forbidden Shaping is also a great tool versus Control, seeing it is a very flexible card to use. You mainly want to use it for 8 or 9 mana so use your Hero Power or Power Word: Shield first, so you have a better chance of getting a good legendary minion.

Combos & Tips

Synergy: Your cards share a lot of synergy with one another, keep that in mind when you are mulliganing / putting a card on the field, sometimes it might be better to hold on to that dragon in order to get the buff from Blackwing Corruptor / Twilight Guardian next turn.

Forbidden Shaping: is a flexible card that can be used to get an extra minion on board or to generate a late game threat, keep in mind that legendaries costing 8-9 mana are usually better than those costing 10 so you want to Hero Power / use a Power Word: Shield first.
